US Apple Store is Down

[zelmo]

After entering my pword to check my shipping status for Tiger, I got this...

US STORE IS DOWN (https://store.apple.com/Your/WebObjects/OrderStatus.woa/-/OrderStatusUnavailablePage.wo?appleStoreSessionKey=VugbvPsG1oEp3eCugXj1sD74Ebp200451)

G5 Mac Mini! w00t!!!!

Actually, I'm really hoping for a decent ibook/imac upgrade.

UK store is down too. I was just about to check my status on Tiger. More goodies for us to enjoy then.

[rock6079]

as is Canada... cant wait !!!

[clykins90]

Anticipation...anticipation...

[mad jew]

So who do we nominate to act surprised on behalf of the Macrumors community when the Amazon-spec machines get released?

[ReanimationLP]

When I woke up I logged into apple.com and checked the Store, woo! They're updating! ^-^ :D

Me too. Now that Tiger is here I'm ready to buy the next revision 12" ibook. I didn't get a sense from the rumor mill that the ibook is coming today; but it seems like May is a good bet. I hope there are some pleasant surprises for the powermac buyers today-- I dont want to read a 400 post WORST UPGRADE EVAR thread....

The Amazon spec's didn't note the GPU, so at least you have that to look forward to (or be disapointed by). :rolleyes:

[iGary]

Well hopefully there is a top-end machine, or some other surprises up their sleeves.

They didn't even mention the type of cpu... :eek: :D

Not that I'm expecting anything..

[wheezy]

Yay for errors! I wasn't able to check my Tiger ship status for the last half of yesterday, either. I took a pretty pdf pic of the store, but server be tooooo busy. Everyone is so excited, how fun.

[iGary]

Store is back up with no changes?

[joecool85]

Its back up, new 2ghz, new 2.3 ghz, new 2.7ghz all duals.

**edit**
haha, apparently i got through just in time, its closed again, there must be more updates on the way!

[mad jew]

Well, the Aussie education store is back up. :) Just new PMs. :(

[Diatribe]

Changes to the Powermacs as reported.... how bad.

[SeRgIo_42]

All of sudden, I was able to check the new powermac.
It is exactly what was posted before.

I did not like the prices though...2k + is way too much for me.

[Bear]

Alao nicely lower prices on 20inch and 23inch displays.

[peterjhill]

ati radeon 9650... 3 pci-x slots...

[zyuzin4]

pretty sad not even PM price drops =\

[ReanimationLP]

Back up. Not very big changes though :( Maybe we'll see iMac and eMac updates soon?

[h0e0h]

Store is back up with no changes?

The page i get says it'll be down for an hour

[mad jew]

Is that GPU in the 2.7 new? I don't remember a 9650.

[clykins90]

*is Pissed*

[ReanimationLP]

New to the dual processor models
The new features of the Power Mac G5 will help take your digital creations to another level:

Faster PowerPC G5 processors — up to 2.7GHz - Cool
Speedier frontside bus — up to 1.35GHz on each processor - Nice
512MB of memory standard - FINALLY
Higher-performance graphics cards with twice the video memory and built-in support for the 30-inch Apple Cinema Display - WOO FRICKIN HOO! DONT NEED THE RARE 6800
Larger capacity hard drives — up to 800GB Serial ATA -^-^
A 16X double-layer SuperDrive (DVD+R DL, DVD±R/CD-RW) that burns twice as much data and video on DVDs -Cool
Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger, the world’s most advanced operating system - :D

its new to me

[gate]

It's not bad ... it very very bad. I hope that they will announce something big at the WWDC.

[zyuzin4]

support for the 30-inch Apple Cinema Display - WOO FRICKIN HOO! DONT NEED THE RARE 6800



thats what I thought too at first glace. They need to change the 30inch panel info to show this card as supported though. I would hope the top of the line stock could drive the top display

[BakedBeans]

new pries om the displays though!

[ReanimationLP]

WOO Dual 2.5s are now 2300 for refurbed, 2600 new! WOW

[zyuzin4]

799.... not a bad price point

[Josh396]

Then don't read it. ;) :p

2500 new for EDU

[Josh396]

It is new. Someone said in a previous post that it may be related to a mobility card because of the 50 at the. I don't really think that would be the cause because it is a Power Mac. I'd also like to see how it compares to the 9600.

[Josh396]

With the 400 GB hard drives now available as BTO options does anyone think they'll be included in the next iMac update? Thinksecret said the two top models would ship with 250 GB hard drives I would think 400 GB would be a BTO option. Thinksecret could have been wrong though.

I'd also like to see how it compares to the 9600.At first glance it appears to be double the VRAM of the 9600 and has one dual-link DVI port (for the 30" display).

hahaha. Anyone got a place for iGary to bunk? :D

[zyuzin4]

is this the first time PMs haven't shipped with Modems? I wouldn't need one anyways but when pricing systems I knew i could shave 30 bucks off there to put towards a larger hard drive or something

[Max_Runk]

I just checked and its up again...if you guys can really bitch about the results..I dont know what to say except this...

I just priced out the PM I want and its over 1k cheaper for a better rig.
Check this..2.0 PM with 1g of ram a 400g hd and a 256mg gpu w/wireless bluetooth key and mouse and a 20" display for just over $3300. It would have cost me over 4k yesterday with a 250g hd and 128mg gpu.

That is an improvement.....so I'm buying it today...hell right now :D
